In any case, I hope Excadrill getting massacred actually prompts Iris to train her other two neglected Pokemon. At the rate she's going with her "training" she's just going to get stomped by Drayden again. That probably be good for what little development she has anyway.

Stephan beating Cilan with no effort was nice to see too. The main trio are just getting destroyed this tournament.

Iris' :"The dream of becoming a Dragon Master fills her large head, Enthusiastically carrying the expectations of the Dragon Village on her shoulders, Living her days of training, The maiden that knows the heart of Dragons. Airisuuuu"

The announcer just said something about the girl with the beret not anything about annoying character.

Probably will cause her to train Excadrill even more...she was all worried about him after all

If by train, you mean sit on the sidelines for 20 something episodes before really battling again, then I don't really expect Excadrill to improve at all. Or at least he shouldn't. Though there is always plot power, we saw it with Kingler.

I was praying for Bel to lose in this episode. I know she needs wins but her using the biggest and probably strongest Pokemon here doesn't exactly help her in the fools department. The reason I wanted to see the loss is because to show everyone that you can't just use tanks all the time and win. This is why I think Trip lost. But I'm not worried about him. The writers are more focused on Cilan and Iris's rivals that they are putting nothing for Trip. It's like they had to cut back to put back for a few others.

-Cilan finally getting what he deserved. I just wish it was Crustle, but Pansage will do.

I'm not really sure how only Cilan deserves to get beaten. If anything, it's good Cilan and Iris get their faces smashed in. Maybe they'll learn to be a bit more humble (probably not though). Cilan himself is more humble than Iris. Ash, himself, is probably the only one of the bunch that doesn't gloat or brag that much.

I wasn't referring to just losing, I was referring to getting his tasting time nonsense interrupted and then having Pansage smashed into him.

I wouldn't have minded if Iris lost to Burgundy in all honesty, though.

I hardly call his pride being puntured, if it was he wouldn't have had such a reaction as he did. And he never mentions it again, yeah he's really broken up about it. I don't think it was overkill, not for this season. I mean Pikachu got pounded into the ground by a freaking Tynamo! Dento's fine, he's what the anime world calls the butt-monkey. The always cheerful character is always gonna get the most of those situations. Besides more than half of those had Dento knowing exactly what he was doing and suffered properly XP

Iris never surprised him, that was Ash, but I figure you've got some convoluted reason there XP

*facepalm,facepalm, facepalm* I just knew there'd be someone dense enough to take me for cereal, but I had no idea it'd be my best friend on here.

OMG IRISbOY. THIS WAS MY WHOLE FREAKING POINT. Look at it through Dento's perspective: His life is terrible xD oh Dento the pain they put you through...but your pain is our humor. AND I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TOOK ME SERIOUSLY. Good grief. I hope you like your VM page btw

Geez you act like Dento gets enjoyment from his emotional/physical pain.

That was your point? Really? I'm not sure but I clarified for anyone confused. Took what seriously? And when did I say Dento gets enjoyment from pain? You seem more serious than I am.

You took my post for cereal. I was making a joke of all of the pointless things that poor, sweet Dento has gone through (that "never done manual labor" hehe x3...but seriously...has he? I think he said he doesn't do much) xD You said he's the butt-monkey so of course he's not bothered but geez when you look at that through Dento's perspective that's terrible. XDDD Don't worry Dento, Daddy feels your pain! T_T

Oh gosh...I'm running on sleep deprival....

What do you mean? Were you not trying to prove a point? All I said was that I didn't think there was anything wrong with the Yanappu thing.

Yanappu hitting him just seemed a bit much (in a cringe worthy way). Then I went on to list all of Dento's immense grief throughout his journey. You need to think like Dento a bit more. XD Of course he goes on frolicking through monocots, eudicots, and ferns on his merry way, but the pain that he has endured throughout his epic journey is terrible and very, very "d'aaaaaaaw"-worthy. He's a gentle prince. Who smells of grass on pleasant spring day.

I'd be more inclined to believe that if Dento's opponent was Masaomi and not Stephan. It didn't hurt anything and Dento and Stephan say well done, so no not really too much. Now Iris's loss to Masaomi almost seemed much after seeing her and Excadrill beat Burgundy earlier. But then I remembered how Excadrill is weak to Fighting type moves, of which Throh used a lot of powerful ones.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I'm talking about this:

He looks like he's hurt there. Excadrill didn't slam into Iris..Dento looks like he's in a lot of pain but just like a true soldier he is braves it out!!! T_T

If your trying to debate with me, I'm too much in a state of sleep deprival to be reasoned with. XD

I like tasting time though... it's actually makes Cilan pretty interesting. But man, Pansage took a beating after beating, to the point where Sawk seemed completely emotionless unlike the first episode of the Donamite tournament

No. They are not. Doesn't change the fact that they are humbler than Iris, who spent the majority of early episodes demeaning Ash for his skill(while being an utter failure at that point herself- don't argue, it's true: disobedient Excadrill, weak Axew, and disobedient Emolga), and has bragged about how good she is to Georgia(who beat her twice, or technically thrice).

Trip is rather humble(he accepts that he is weaker than certain people), and isn't exactly arrogant. He considers Ash weak and incompetent, but look at their actual fights? He has beaten Ash badly(thus he sees Ash as weak) and he has noticed Ash failed hard at noticing what his pokemon need to do(noticing Oshawott's closed eyes, telling Ash to train Focus Blast).

The big thing here is that Burgundy doesn't claim to be great. Georgia, while styling herself a dragon buster, lives up to that title(annihilating any dragon shown so far).

Iris brags about how great she is yet is not actually as great as she claims. Georgia doesn't claim to be better than she is. Georgia is also ready to accept that she is childish, while Iris completely considers herself above being childish.

Iris is easily less humble than either.
